Green Canyon sits along scenic Salmon River nestled in old growth. There are several hiking trails nearby including those that take you to the surrounding Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness. Located in the canyon carved by the Wild and Scenic Salmon River.
In Zigzag, OR, at the intersection of US Rt. 26 and Salmon River Rd./Green Canyon CG sign, turn onto Salmon River Rd. and go 4.6 miles to campground on right.
Please be aware! NO CELL PHONE SERVICE -- on AT&T or T-MOBILE.
You must drive out almost to hiway for service
Just went there by mistake but great location and shady area picnic table
Moved out once realized that was not the place!😱🥸😱
Beautiful river and forest location.
One of the closest Campgrounds to PDX that feels deeply in the forest.
Vault (pit) toilets.
Last few miles of road has a few "car killer" potholes.
Be aware if you get one of the riverside spots, the path basically goes through the edge of your campsite, but very little foot traffic.
Sometimes camp hosts, sometimes none. If no hosts, firewood available at Thriftway (6 miles) when burning is allowed.
Had a great time camping here. Only stayed 2 nights out of the 5 days I paid for due to the fire ban going into effect but still had a nice time. Very quiet and relaxing here. The camp host was great. He does an excellent job of keeping the bathrooms and Campground spotless. We camped at site #10 with nice river access right on the Salmon River. This river is excellent for swimming and relaxing in. Excellent hiking trails that start right from camp too.
I got sent up there to the Mt Hood area for work and decided to go looking for campgrounds. I've never heard of this campground but I will definitely be coming back to camp. Beautiful,old growth timber, a long a river and no highway noise.
